RHD?
Hanno, is the truck not rhd? Close scrutiny of my screen suggests under correction that it is. I agree, I discount ex-French on reflection. I suggest a captured Gantry truck to S/M 2023 ...were they used in North Africa?
L 4552457 to 4553198 [unless there were any Mid-East theatre Census Numbers in addition] 1940-41 Canadian Dodge Model DCM-4? [equivalent of the US WK-60] with Welles-Thornton rear bogie, Serials # 8,300,001 – 8,300,742? I say DCM-4, although it would appear that they were WK-60 chassis railed across from the Dodge truck plant in Detroit to Windsor and then 'assembled' to British specs. after addition of the Thornton bogie supplied by Thornton's Canadian agents.

Axis History
There are lots of interesting Beute pics on the Axis History forum.
Here's a nice example of a CGT, marked as a Ford (their IDs are sometimes wonky such as Ford Cab 11 CMPs marked as Morris C8). I notice some of us have already posted in there too.

Kieth, your first pic is a Chev 15 cwt but the box is unique. It's a lot like the 2A1 but it has square wheel well openings. The only pix I've seen of British made boxes use 3 1/2" boards for the sides and this one uses 5 1/2" by the look of it. It doesn't have fold down sides and the POW can holders are mounted on their side instead of laying flat. The top of the endgate is flat too.

The scribbling on the back is hard to read, all I could make out is Egypt and 1942. HTH, Hanno

I have no idea what make/model this truck is but there is no doubt who owned it when photographed.

I'm not positive but could be a M-H.. See the Ford design front axle housing for the front wheel drive.. But not positive. And the front wheels and dual rear wheels.. All typical of M-H..
